Internal memo after the jump…

From Jeffrey Katz, deputy managing editor, Digital News, NPR: We’re very pleased that Corey Dade will be joining us as a Digital News correspondent covering a broad range of domestic issues.

He previously worked at The Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Boston Globe and Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He has extensive experience covering a wide variety of stories about local government, state and national politics, and business.

And he’s no stranger to the broadcast medium, having served as a frequent guest commentator and analyst on several broadcast entities, including NPR.

As a native of Washington, D.C., the move from Atlanta will be a homecoming for Corey when he joins us on Tuesday, Sept. 7.
